• The purpose of this evaluation is to ensure the
  students are demonstrating proper technique while
  completing a max-out bench press and recording he
  maximum weight lifted.
• Instructions Students are to be broken up into
  their regular work out groups and warm up on
  their own. When they feel they are ready to
  perform their max-out they are to call the
  instructor over to watch the lift they perform.
  If the student performs the lift with all of the
  proper technique and completes the lift, s/he has
  the option to keep the weight they just performed
  or add more weight and attempt another lift.
• Equipment needed Bench press bench with rack,
  Olympic barbell, and weight plates
• Scoring procedures In order for the max-out
  lift to count, the student must demonstrate the
  proper technique for a bench press outlined
  below. No one will fail a max out session.
  The amount of weight lifted depends on the
  student with the goal of improving the amount of
  weight lifted with each max session. However, if
  the student needs to decrease his/her weight to
  properly complete the lift they should do so.
  Each student has three attempts at a specific
  weight.
• Students with disabilities will have their
  workouts modified to their special needs
